As you can see, I’m in full panic mode over the CoronaVirus. It’s bloody terrifying.

We need a Puke gif added to the rating selections.

In my opinion/experience the "local" gun shops in this area very over-priced. Ottomanelli's, Reloaderz, RTSP, etc, etc. I get that they're operating in an expensive area, but you'll never see a good deal from them My general rule for purchasing over the last several years is to check Bud's gun shop and see what it would cost to order from them. So as of today the Sig would be $900 (with free shipping) + $15 NICS + $25 transfer (from the guy in Lincoln Park I always use) which brings me to $940. (You have to call Bud's and make sure they'll sell it at the same price with 10 round magazines) I then connect with the vendors here to see what they've got on hand and what it would cost if they had to order for me. If they're in the ballpark (for me that's about $60) I'd go with them. I don't mind driving an hour or two to avoid mail-order. If you don't care about price then pick a shop you're most comfortable with and stick with them. They may eventually give you some kind of discount/special handling for being a regular.

Isn't that the thing where a bunch of tall millionaires run around and play keep-away? Saw it on a TV in an airport once. I didn't still think it was a thing.

You should know, Betty Crockpot!

what is this crazy talk... you are trying to solve a non existent problem.. augmenting your weapon system to some goofy less functional configuration so you can spare the people next to you at the range.. you are IMO on the wrong track.. built the weapon so it functions the best.. and if being next to you at the range makes them sad.. tell them to toughen up... this whole not a pistol grip.. removing the pistol grip.. its crazy talk.. I shoot a 7.5in SBR... you think your gun is loud? it puts 2ft fire balls out of the front of it.. if people next to me don't like it they can piss off.. I would NEVER compromise the weapon over that..

Quick go borrow a crock pot .

<frantically googling TP recipes.>

Ironically, i have three lowers with no uppers! (yet!)

Well its a shitty conversation for the most part -

Don't people always ask what they should bring to a party? Tell 'em TP.

Zeke’s handy ‘chooting technique correction chart:

You just need to clean and lube them. New guns ship with a corrosion preventing grease which is not really a good lubricant so you need to clean that off with a gun cleaning solvent and then apply the right oil as directed in the owners' manual. For a rifle there are some that advocate a barrel break-in procedure but that isn't always necessary. Google and thee will find.

Eh, who needs paper.

That’s not funny, that’s troof

Good luck with your Journey . I hope you get it done before Gov I mean Mr Ed raise's the fee's.

The what?

Well, if your gonna have to pay more for shit tickets, you may as well make it fun.

It does. Unless his name triggered an additional inquiry.

I think I may order one. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-angryjoe-14-ar-14-stripped-lower-receiver-preorder-item-8-10-weeks-delivery.html?trk_msg=DM8IJUI8EPHKH3PRGLIGNOLU78&avad=55963_c19aac361&utm_source=Avantlink&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=cl

When I walk through NYC I notice people tend to space themselves apart more in recent days.

Travel from Europe is now stopped for 30 days starting Friday. Elderly should stop all unnecessary travel. Social distancing is king. Avoid gatherings, groups, etc. STAY THE EFF HOME! I have been Vulcan greeting everyone. Live long and prosper.

wallyworld Somerdale. no tp. none. isle's empty. no hand wipes. gone. no water. isle's empty on that side. bleach almost gone. plenty of paper towels. plenty of food, including bread, rolls, and non-perishable food. I saw at least 4 women walking with their shopping carts FULL of tp. some with paper towels. food almost untouched, but I didn't go up any of the frozen isles. those are normally half empty anyway. I swear....if anything bad happened, these morons will be clean, but they'll starve to death and die surrounded by tp. some will. I suspect most here won't

Pitbulls, what in that name makes it a family dog? Definition of Pit: Verb set someone or something in conflict or competition with. Definition of Bull Verb To push or drive powerfully or violently. Noun an uncastrated male bovine animal What in that name makes it a family pet? Fucking nothing

RTSP, Reloaders(for renting), ottomanellis those are the closest with gun selection.

Those guys are great capitalists:

Then let's saunter over to bidet analysis.

But it's just the flu bro.

Asshole dogs owned by assholes.

My wife and I had this exact conversation last night. I think this “crisis” will expose our weaknesses as far as outsourcing products that Americans deem as life’s necessities. Hopefully, this will create a strong “Made in USA” movement that is sustainable and long lasting.

I’ll be traveling, but I’d love to check out their offerings. Great idea, MM!

@DonkeyPunch WHOA NELLIE! You're from Dreamland & have a lot to grasp. Where you come from (where is THAT, exactly?) things are much simpler. The laws are written WITH the USCON in mind. Here in Joisey, ALL firearms are inherently ILLEGAL (they start-out that way!), and therefore exist in the hands of us serfs only through the use of EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS as stipulated in the 2C Firearms Statutes and case law. The answer @DirtyDigz gave you is 10,000% CORRECT! You sir owe him an apology and need to do some serious homework! I'm considered an authority on this subject, am well-known throughout the NJ 2nd Amendment community, and as the Vice President of the busiest 2A group in NJ, have appeared too many times to mention at various venues up & down the state. I lecture on this subject, as it's my WHEELHOUSE! I have 48 years of experience behind the trigger, am a former Trustee of my local R&P club, I'm currently a Match Director of a hand gun league (Police Practical Competition---PPC), shoot action leagues competitively, etc., etc., etc. To just skim the surface of what I & most of the NJGF elders know, suggest you visit https://www.cnjfo.com/news and https://www.JustifiableNeed.com . A NJ Judge was already DISBARRED for the way in which he oversaw a trial, refused attempts by the Defense Counsel to enter the aforementioned EXEMPTIONS INTO EVIDENCE, and the way he charged the Jury! The case was Brian Aitken's. Aitken wrote a book entitled, "Blue Tent Sky". There's a GOLDMINE of 2A reality in there that every NJ gun owner should READ! This video is about 14 months old. A friend of mine drove almost 3 hours to get there to do it. I & a few other #2AHeavyLifters have been invited back for March 26th and they rented a hotel meeting room for the event. @DonkeyPunch Suggest you do some homework so you truly grasp what it is to be a NJ gun owner in the Communist People's Republic of New Jerseystan!

Possession of firearms in NJ is illegal .... EXCEPT under certain exempted locations/situations. Since possession is illegal by default, the burden of proof is on the possessor to show that they are in an exempted location/situation.

I think you're talking about me and I'll reiterate my experience. I was Federal but worked with a lot of state and local LEOs. When the hollow point law was passed back in the 90s there were plenty of arrests where possession of hollow points was the only charge. Most of them were thrown out. Those that were prosecuted were the defendant took an easy out and pled to a misdemeanor charge. I do know of a case where the possession of hollowpoints was also charged with possession of stolen property. He was fully prodecuted. @PK90 is correct. YOU CAN BE CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF HOLLOWPOINTS AS THE ONLY CRIME. The charge for hollowpoints has become "as a matter of practice" an add on charge with another crime. Last time I looked I could only find one case where the person was charged with possession of hollowpoints as the only charge. That was 2002 IIRC.

Eat me?

Side note and it has a political twist and not to derail the thread... I watched the entire press conference yesterday and the media is 100% dishonest and not factual, they report what 'they' want to report. At one point the president, and to me looked about as honest as can be said, ... " you know maybe, maybe this can ultimately bring the world together." Or something as close to that..but 100% said bring the world together. Why isnt that news? Why isn't it news that the sitting POTUS expresses hope that a concerning thing that is striking the world, can hopefully bring us all in the world together???? THAT is a powerful message....not the fear mongering.. The media in this nation is 10000% dishonest and are no better than propaganda peddlers... That is sickening.....

It ain’t time to make a beeline for the bunker. 60-ish cases in the USA, and one fatality. HE is correct, you should already have food/water/hygiene preps in place for ANY disaster. COV-19 shouldn’t make that much of a difference in how you stay ready. Take NORMAL flu precautions...wash your hands, and practice good sanitary/hygiene. It ain’t Ebola, keep your wits about you, and don’t be taken in by the hype. Keep your head out of your ass. Panic is your enemy...and so are those who are trying to make you panic.

This country will NOT go Socialist.....Not without a fight!

For the past couple of years I have been educating myself on the various wide variety of hand gun ammunition available and the pros and cons of each. From my research online, asking opinions of long time shooters, instructors and staff members of the ranges that I am a member of, for their opinions based on their experiences. This has enlightened me to be some of the best 9mm ammunition to use in my semi-automatic handguns, (both hammer and striker styles), for range practice, as well as for personal-home defense, if ever necessary, that I will also occasionally practice with. I have purchased and fired the following home-defense ammo in all of my 9mm handguns: Hornady FTX Critical Defense; Federal Premium Personal Defense Hydra-Shok; Sig Sauter Elite Performance V-Crown JHP and Speer Gold Dot LE Hollow Point ammunition. All worked flawlessly with no FTF or jams. Currently, I do not think there is one 9mm ammo that is far and above better than all the others. The ammo I have tested is from a small group of very good, time and field-tested, consistent performing, high quality factory made rounds from selected manufacturers, (Speer, Hornady, Federal, Sig Sauer), any of which would serve adequately and dependably for HD ammo. One caveat, I want to support American made ammunition manufacturers and their factory workers, as well as for its more consistent quality control. Therefore, I only purchase and use American made ammo these reasons. My attitude also is that I am willing to spend more money to get a higher quality ammunition that is the most consistent and dependable to fire as intended, burn cleaner than average to reduce carbon buildup inside my handgun, be more accurate if possible. In the case of the personal-home defense ammo, I want to use ammo that has been tested and proven to provide sufficiently adequate “stopping power” of an intruder/bad guy. From these inquiries and research, I decided to use the following ammo in my 9mm hand guns and have been very pleased with the results to date: Speer Speer Lawman – 9mm Luger 124 grain TMJ Ammo (53651) - for general training at the range. Speer Gold Dot – 9mm +P 124 Grain LE Hollow Point Ammo (53617) - for personal-home defense. Both have long term proven track records for high-performance and consistently reliable production quality control. I like the idea that they use cleaner-burning propellants and more reliable CCI primers and users and reviewers stating that they have not had much, if any problems with these ammo lines. Also, I like the idea of using a training round from the same manufacturer that has a similar velocity and bullet weight to what I would use for my personal/home defense rounds. That way, my practice is more meaningfully realistic and appropriate. By now, I have put over 1,000 rounds of these Lawman and Gold Dots through my HD handgun, as well as over 3,000 rounds through my other 9mm handguns to ensure that this ammo feeds properly, without any jams or FTF issues. Thankfully, I have not had any HD-PD situations where I have had that last resort of having to shoot at another person. Speer Lawman 124 grain ball ammo is my regular range practice ammo. Lawman ammo has a total metal jacket (TMJ) design where the copper jacket covers the entire lead core, which reduces the levels of airborne lead, which is an especially good thing when you are shooting at an indoor gun range. The Speer Lawman also has similar ballistic characteristics to Speer GD's and is therefore a good practice compliment to the GD’s. I have seen ammunition prices I am in the market for, drop 10-15% after the Presidential election. My last bulk purchase of Speer Lawman 124 grain TMJ 9mm Luger - (53651) via the online SGAmmo.com web site, cost me $10.95 per 50 round box, plus shipping, or approx. $0.22 per round. Here is the link: http://www.sgammo.com/product/speer/50-round-box-9mm-luger-speer-lawman-124-grain-tmj-ammo-53616-or-53651 Speer Gold Dot +P 124 grain which is a jacketed hollow point (JHP) design, is recommended by many shooters to be an excellent home-personal defense ammo. The 124 grain is considered an “intermediate” weight ammo, that is a good compromise for an all year ammo, that is between a light 115 grain and a heavy 147 grain bullet. The Speer GD’s are bonded core bullets, which tend to hold together better and result in a distinct large diameter expansion upon impact, more so than jacketed bullets, therefore causing more internal tissue damage and resulting in the desired “stopping power” that one seeks in a HD ammo round. As a hollow point, it should penetrate enough to provide the desired “stopping power”, while not “over penetrating”, compared to a round head / ball ammo design, so concern about continued collateral damage is minimized. Gold Dots are standard the ammo used by the NYC Police Department. The Speer Gold Dot +P 124 Grain LE hollow point ammo – (53617), from the online vendor SGAmmo.com, cost me $22.95 per 50 round box, plus shipping, or approx. $0.46 per round. Here is the link: http://www.sgammo.com/product/speer/50-round-box-9mm-p-speer-gold-dot-124-grain-le-hollow-point-ammo-53617 Knowing that others have tested and highly rate both the range and HD ammo I have chosen, provides me with peace of mind that those more knowledgeable than me approve of it and that my research has confirmed it. Good luck… AVB-AMG
